Alright, so I was doing a bit of editing around within system32, things I've done before without a hassle so I didn't bother to make a restore point (I can already feel you guys rolling your eyes at me...)
Well, I restarted the computer, and when I got back to the login screen.... Constant flashing of gray and black.
That's fine, go into recovery options from boot, click on fix windows startup.... But it can't fix anything. I try to 'reset' the computer while keeping all of my files... "This drive is locked." I go into BIOS to adjust the settings in every way that would unlock it. Still locked. I give up and go for a full reset... "An error has occurred. No changes have been made."
I tried to completely reinstall windows 10 via my UEFI USB boot, and it can't find the m2 ssd now... But it shows up in my bios.
I took another HDD and installed 10 on there perfectly fine, and then went into disk manager, and the m2 ssd is not showing still. Then I tried Samsung magician. Nothing. Master Partition. Nothing. It's like the thing isn't there at all, the only thing that actually sees the ssd now is the bios, and that is only if I go under the raid list. Yet in the description. It says it is a "Non-Raid Physical Disk".
I don't know what I am missing, I don't know what to do. I'm on the verge of just sending this back and waiting on my replacement, but with school starting back up in 2 weeks, I do not want to take that chance...
Does anyone know what I can do? Because I've been researching for the past 3 hours, switching in and out drives and everything, and I still cannot get it to show up for installation. 😞
